Johnny Sketch and the Dirty Notes Johnny Sketch and the Dirty Notes plus: Topaz, Fatty Lumpkin Friday, September 3, 2010 doors at 7pm
Since it's inception in 2001, Johnny Sketch & The Dirty Notes (JSDN) has gained a loyal following in a competitive New Orleans music scene. Their unique FUNK/ROCK style blends guitar, violin and harmonica with a hard driving rhythm section reminiscent of the Radiators' swamp funk added to the punchy horns of Tower Of Power.
It did not take long for these young musicians to land slots in most of New Orleans' prominent live music clubs. On the strength of those performances, JSDN was added to the roster of many notable festivals and special events.

Rebirth Brass Band Rebirth Brass Band plus: Mandorico, Champa Wednesday, September 15, 2010 8pm, Doors at 7pm
Simply put, The Rebirth Brass Band is a New Orleans institution. Formed in 1983 by the now infamous Frazier brothers, the band has evolved from playing the streets of the French Quarter to playing festivals and stages all over the world. Rebirth is committed to upholding the tradition of brass bands while at the same time incorporating modern music into their show. Their signature brand of heavy funk has not only won over several generations of music lovers, it has become the soundtrack to an entire city. In the wake of the sometimes-stringent competition amongst brass bands, Rebirth is the undisputed leader of the pack, and they show no signs of slowing down.

Miami Horror Miami Horror plus: Fizzy Dino Pop, Soft Environmental Collapse Thursday, September 16, 2010 Doors at 7:00 PM
Yes, this is their moment. And though it seemed like an electro-dreamer’s distant fantasy four years ago, Miami Horror’s same excited sense of wonder has only ballooned from then to now. If you haven’t already heard the gospel, expect to be converted to the cause any second now.

Cowboy Mouth Cowboy Mouth plus: Dovetail, Katsuk Friday, September 17, 2010 8:00 PM, Doors at 7:00 PM
"Are you glad to be alive?" Fred Le Blanc of Cowboy Mouth is demanding to know.
At nearly two hundred shows a year for fourteen years Cowboy Mouth asks this question at top volume and the only answer they want to hear is "yes!"
Cowboy Mouth is pure New Orleans rock n' roll with more hooks and melodies then gumbo has spices and lyrics that bring you right into a hot steamy night in the French Quarter.
Their live shows have become legendary, best captured by Cake magazine "...on a bad night they'll tear the roof off the joint and on a good night, they'll save your soul."

Papa Grows Funk
Just imagine the chops it takes to be voted the funkiest act in the world's funkiest town.

Charlie Robison Charlie Robison plus: The Trishas, Emory Quinn Friday, September 24, 2010 8pm, Doors at 7pm
False modesty has never been the style of this native Texan, known for saying what's on his mind and letting the chips fall where they may. Along the way, he's developed a reputation as brash and cocksure, a little ornery, a maverick within a country music industry that prefers artists who are easier to manage, package and promote.

Arguably the funkiest blue-eyed soul man since Daryl Hall lives across the pond. Much like the legendary Arthur Russell and later Matthew Dear, Lidell is a pop singer with a background in esoteric dance music.
The Brit approaches soul music more like a producer meticulously constructing sonic collages than a traditional frontman. He is as well versed in the post-'70s era (Prince, D'Angelo) as he is in the classics of both Northern and Southern soul. Then again, soul is a shadowy quality that lives somewhere beyond knowledge and skill. Some folks have it; some don't. And Lidell certainly does.

- “Barnes is a noticeable notch above the typical acoustic guitar-toting singer/songwriter. His genuine, feel-good energy infects the crowd.” – Elizabeth Hendley/Paste Magazine
- “Barnes excels at a funky take on light rock that recalls John Mayer and Dave Matthews. The natural optimism of his material stands out amongst the inexhaustible collection of artists who delight in being jaded.” – Darryl Smyers/Dallas Observer
